In front of the White Horse Ferry, Gao Yuan's army completely surrounded Yuan Tan's soldiers and horses.

On the Gao Yuan side, Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan, Ma Chao, Pang De, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Zhang, Yu Ban, Li Dian, Le Jin, plus coach Gao Yuan.

Thirteen people, the Yuan army killed was shattered, the blood flowed like a river, and not a single one was killed.

In the end, Yuan Tan, Sun Guan, and Du Yu were left to be surrounded by soldiers.

Yuan Tan was shaky, his face was pale, and after seeing Gao Yuan appear, he couldn't stand anymore, so he knelt down and screamed: "Prime Minister, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore, for my father's sake, for the sake of your father-in-law and you, spare me!" ”

How could Gao Yuan accept the surrender of such a person, so with a wave of his hand, on behalf of the people and the court, he killed Yuan Tan with a bow.

Xiu ~ , Yuan Tan was shot into a hedgehog, and the Shuntian Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was executed on the third day of his reign. Because of this, he surpassed his father and ranked second in the list of the shortest reign in history in three days.

Three emperors died in nine days of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and when the news came, the world shook.

When the news reached Jiangdong, Sun Quan glared at him and shouted: "Oh, this Gao Mengyan is simply the emperor's killer!" Killed three in nine days, this is also a broken historical record! ”

When the news reached Xinye, Liu Bei secretly scolded stupidity, and said in his heart that a group of people who can't be emperors will become emperors, when will I be emperors! Then he shouted: "Third brother, quickly prepare a horse for me, and go find that thing called Wolong!" ”

When the news reached Liu Biao, Liu Biao was indifferent, and Kuai Liang persuaded him that he should take the opportunity to attack Yuzhou. Liu Biao was furious, and said don't be joking, and shouted: "I have been completely eliminated by you and Cai Mao. I also attacked Yuzhou. Believe it or not, Jiangdong's blue-eyed little bastard came to beat me immediately? ”

Everyone in Jingzhou was shocked, and said in their hearts that ginger was still old and spicy, and now they can't send troops, don't pick up the sesame seeds, and lose the watermelon first.

Sun Quan thought the same way.

The two families are feuding. Restrained each other, and no one dared to move lightly. This is also the reason why Jingzhou and Jiangdong have not moved for many years, because there is someone behind with a gun, and as soon as you move, he will stab you in the gut.

The news reached Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi was escorting the military quartermaster in the rear, and when he heard the words, he grabbed Guo Tu's clothes and shouted, "What to do, what to do." Yuan Tan is also dead, and I'm alone! Although he hated Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang to the core, when he was really the only one left, he couldn't help but think that it would be better when the three brothers were there.

Guo Tu was frightened and overjoyed, and immediately pounced, shouting: "The country cannot be without a king for a day, please invite the king of Youzhou to ascend the throne!" ”

"Ahh Yuan Xi let go. fell off the horse, but fortunately was hugged by the general Peng An.

This is really a coexistence of crisis and opportunity!

Yuan Xi was overjoyed at first. trembling with excitement, his heart said that it was my turn to be the emperor, and he laughed again, and said Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, you all bullied me, so what. In the end, it was not me who became emperor.

However, suddenly his face was pale, his face was bloodless, he trembled in horror, and hurriedly said: "Gao Mengyan is coming, what should I do?" ”

"Easy to do! Space for time. Abandon Qingzhou and retreat to Xuzhou. Mobilize heavy troops in Xiapi, just where Gao Mengyan's father-in-law hiccuped, and fight him to the death! ”

Yuan Xi slapped his thigh, "That's it!" ”

So, Yuan Xi rushed to Xiapicheng overnight, and immediately announced his accession to the throne in a high-profile manner, and ordered the soldiers and horses in Gunzhou and Yuzhou who did not have time to go to Qingzhou to transfer all to Xuzhou. In order to gain the support of the army, Yuan Tan rewarded the three armies, and the People's Liberation Army disciplined one night.

The 300,000 people of Xiapi City were immediately attacked and ransacked.

Yuan Xi got countless supplies because of this, and without doing anything, he arrested the whole city as cannon fodder and sent it to the head of Xiapi City.

It is said that on the second day of Yuan Xi's accession to the throne, Gao Yuan led the army to the city of Xiapi.

For Zhang Liao and others, revisiting the old place is full of emotion. Many years ago, Lu Bu lost his life on the White Gate Tower of Xiapi City, and now, conquering Xiapi will be the beginning of Gao Yuan's complete elimination of the Yuan clan and sweeping the world.

For a time, the generals were impassioned and their morale skyrocketed.

Gao Yuan set up a formation outside the city, thinking that there would be soldiers and horses in the city, but he didn't expect the gate of Xiapi to be closed, and he looked like he couldn't defend it.

Why did Yuan Xi choose to stick to Xiapi instead of going elsewhere. There's a reason for that. First: Cities like Luoyang and Xuchang are too far away, and Yuan Xi will be caught up if he can't run. Second, because Yuan Tan had transferred soldiers and horses from various states before, there were no soldiers when he arrived. Third, Hefei has 100,000 soldiers and horses, which can be reached immediately. Fourth, Xiapi City is a big city second only to Xuchang and Luoyang.

Therefore, Yuan Xi chose to defend Xiapi, and he was not alone, and there was still hope for all the armies to converge here.

Gao Yuan looked up at Xiapi, and saw the White Gate Tower, his expression changed slightly, and said: "There are more than 100,000 enemy troops in the city, if it is attacked, I am afraid that the casualties will be not small." ”

The three Yuan brothers buried too many soldiers in the Central Plains and the North, and Gao Yuan couldn't waste it anymore.

However, a more difficult situation arose.

I saw a crowd of people surging at the head of the city, and suddenly cries and shouts rose to the sky. Gao Yuan looked at it, and was taken aback, and his face changed drastically. I saw that there were too many old, weak, sick and disabled people on the city. I saw a woman holding a child, because there were too many people, half of her body was already outside the city, and there was a possibility of falling at any time, which was really worrying.

Gao Yuan was shocked: "What is Yuan Xi going to do?" ”

Sima Yi and others couldn't guess the specifics.

However, Yuan Xi soon appeared in person to explain. I saw him on the head of the city, with a hideous face, pointing at Gao Yuan and scolding for a while, saying that he wanted to avenge Yuan Shao, Yuan Tan, and Yuan Shang, and then pointed at the people and shouted: "Gao Yuan, don't you love the people?" Hurry up and throw stones at your trebuchet and attack the city, and kill the 300,000 people in this city first. Let the world know your shamelessness. ”

He shouted again, "If you really love the people, you will retire." If you don't quit the army, you are a person who sells your reputation and reputation, and you are a shameless person. ”

He said to the people again: "Do you see, the one outside is the beloved prime minister in your mouth, do you see if he will throw stones and shoot arrows to kill you, you can all guess!" ”

"Prime Minister! Save us! ”

"Don't attack us, don't, woo woo ......." And the people wept.

Yuan Xi laughed, he really admired himself so much, he thought of such a good idea.

Gao Yuan was furious, and he had been at war since ancient times, and only Yuan Xi used the people as shields. However, there was nothing to do, but fortunately, it was soon dark, and he temporarily withdrew from the army.

After returning to the camp, Gao Yuan slapped the table and asked the military advisor to think of a strategy, a strategy that would not harm the innocent.

The military advisors were also helpless, and they said that the siege of the city was naturally to open bows and arrows, trebuchets to throw stones, and the soldiers to go to the city were also to rush and kill. Now that the Yuan army is in front of the people and is not allowed to kill, how can this attack the city.

In this regard, the military advisers have no choice. (To be continued......)
